Mate of mine belongs to an Internet Crummydoor club. At the drop of a hat an impromptu cruise will attract 20-40 cars. It is the norm that this amount will attend. They are proud to cruise 'en masse' and show off their marque.

But what has happened to us? In Victoria we have through our internet club very few cruises. Those that have been run have been attended by very few cars. A cruise needs to be advertised for weeks to let people make up their minds if they will attend. What a lack-lustre turn out most are! What a lot of dithering old farts we have become! Is this what is happening to Ford? WHERE HAS FORD POWER GONE? Where has this apathy and lack of unity come from?

We need to get out there and be seen in a multitude. We need to have people look on and say "Wow, all those FORDS!" We need to be a united force to promote and advertise our wonderful marque.

But this will never happen with attitudes the way they are now. Get off your collective backsides Ford lovers. We need to show strength through numbers .....

From your concearns i'm assuming your talking about a cruise for owners who have ford falcons of any era. I'm sure the XR club of Victoria do show their presence and are active with cruises events etc.

Must say in Sydney due to the integration of Fordforums and the Tickford Owners Club forums where getting good turnouts on cruises events etc.

I have found the same thing with my EA-ED car club. One theory is that generally, the Ford fans are a bit 'down and out' at the moment with such incredible domination by Holden in every market segment except for the utes.

And it's the same on the street, with VLs the cheap car of choice, complete with VT SS mags, of course.
